I brought goods live in ancient times, and I became rich and raised the regent

Chapter 21 The Harvest of a Year of Labor
On the second day, it was rare for Liu Yue not to stay in bed, and she was fully dressed before Shen Ling'an knocked on the door.

Shen Ling'an was rubbing her sleepy eyes and knocking on the door to wake up her sister-in-law. Seeing Liu Yue coming out, she was a little surprised: "Ah, sister-in-law, you're already up."

In order to feed the cubs breakfast, Liu Yue adhered to the same routine as Shen's family every day, getting up at midnight (that is, five o'clock in the morning).But due to laziness and cancer, it was always the brothers and sisters of the Shen family who had washed up before she could stand up.

Shen Ling'an is used to coming to wake up her sister-in-law every day.

Therefore, Shen Ling'an was surprised to see her sister-in-law, who was not a bad sleeper, all of a sudden.

It was rare for Liu Yue to be full of energy early in the morning: "Because I'm going to the city today!"

Little girls won't wait for a woman's love of shopping, especially if you want to go shopping in a new, never-before-seen place!The soul of shopping is burning!

Liu Yue was in a good mood, pinched Shen Ling'an's rounder face, and took her hand to brush her teeth by the well in the backyard.On the second night after coming here, she popularized toothbrush and toothpaste to the three of them, and strongly urged everyone to brush their teeth twice a day to keep their teeth healthy and clean.

Although she should do as the Romans do when she enters the country, since she has the conditions, she should let the children develop better living habits.What's more, she now makes the cubs eat a lot of oil and water every day, which will increase the burden on the teeth. If they don't take good care of them, their teeth will rot easily. It would be ugly if the mouths of such beautiful and lovely cubs are full of tooth decay. .

Shen Qingyan and Shen Yixiu got up earlier, and had already gone out to find Old Li to rent an ox cart.

About the car, Shen Qingyan agreed with Old Li last night, and gave the other party a rental fee of [-] Wen.

Liu Yuekong had supplies for a bracelet, but didn't have a single copper plate, so he had to ask Shen Qingyan to pay in advance, and when he entered the city and pawned the gold bracelet she bought in Hyundai before, he would have the initial venture capital.

It would be best if they could cash out three or forty taels of silver, so that they could buy an ox cart, and it would be more convenient for them to go to the city in the future. Renting a car every time was both human and expensive, and Liu Yue was afraid that her legs would be wasted if she walked.

Therefore, solving the transportation problem is the top priority of her business!
After Liu Yue and Shen Ling'an washed up, they went out to look for Shen Qingyan.

Originally, Shen Qingyan only planned to bring his third brother into the city, but now that Liu Yue was added and the ox cart was rented, Shen Qingyan simply brought Shen Ling'an along.

Let's go to town as a family!
Shen Qingyan happened to arrange the rice sacks. They had a lot of rice to sell, and the entire bullock cart was filled with rice sacks, leaving only four small corners on the four sides for them to sit in.

Liu Yue didn't dislike it either, she immediately selected a small corner on the right back, and Shen Ling'an sat on her left.The other two are in charge of driving in front.

In order to hurry up, they changed their breakfast time to be on the road today, so Liu Yue prepared four big meat buns, a sandwich and a glass of milk for no one, it was delicious, full and easy.

After Liu Yue finished her breakfast, got tired of seeing the scenery along the way, and leaned on the rice bag to sleep again, the slow-moving old cow in Lao Litou's house finally wandered to the gate of the city.

The city wall more than ten meters high stood in front of Liu Yue, and the simple and strong atmosphere spread over the surface, which was so shocking that Liu Yue was a little speechless.Liu Yue has also traveled to the ancient city before, but the city that has been repaired commercially does not have such a sense of weather.

There are two rows of soldiers in uniform standing on both sides of the city gate, responsible for guarding the safety of the city.

They lined up for about a stick of incense, and after each person paid the entry fee of five Wen, they entered the city smoothly.

The buildings in the city are not a mix of thatched houses, earthen houses, and green brick houses like in the village, but all brick and stone houses, and the roads are also neat and level. The street facing the city gate is full of shops. Liu Yue's eyes dazzled.

Shen Qingyan first drove the ox cart to the rice shop, and sold all the grain in the cart.

The clerk at the rice shop knew them and told them to carry the rice bags to the backyard to be weighed. Liu Yue stayed in the hall because her legs and feet were inconvenient.I took the opportunity to observe the prices of rice shops.

Mipu has a wide variety of grains, ranging from polished rice at 23 cents a catty, white noodles at [-] cents a catty, yellow noodles at [-] cents a catty, old rice at [-] cents a catty, and brown rice at [-] cents a catty. .

If one cent is equal to fifty cents in modern times, the price of grain in ancient times was ten times higher than in modern times. If they travel through time and space at will, she can make a lot of money as a grain middleman.

Liu Yue also saw some unique grains from ancient times: bran, five cents a catty.

Liu Yue clicked her tongue, bran is something pigs are reluctant to eat in modern times, what kind of person would buy bran!
The shopkeeper of the rice shop was a wide, fat man with squinting eyes. He sat lazily on the grand master's chair and watched Shen Qingyan and Shen Jingcheng put the rice on the scale to weigh it, and move the beads on the abacus with their fingers.

"Your rice is pretty good. I calculate it at 15 taels per catty, and the total is 660 taels and [-] taels."

This is too little, Liu Yue is a little stunned.This is not a modern day with abundant yields. One mu of land can produce 180 catties of grain, which is considered a high yield. The Shen family's five mu of land harvested a total of 870 catties of rice, which can be described as a bumper harvest.

But such a big harvest can only be exchanged for more than a dozen taels of silver.

This was the harvest of the Shen family's whole year of hard work, and it was only sold for such a small amount of money.And this money will be the expenses of the Shen family for the next year.

One must know that in ancient costume dramas and ancient Chinese novels, the male lead would cost thousands of taels of hairpin to the female lead, so how many catties of rice would it take to plant?One hairpin requires the labor of hundreds of peasants for a year.

This gap between rich and poor is real.
Furthermore, the fact that the Shen family earned 15 taels of silver was based on the fact that Shen Qingyan himself was a scholar, exempted from taxes, and because there were supplies in Liuyueli, the Shen family had no surplus food. After a year, you can only get ten taels of silver?

No wonder the Shen family didn't even want to eat white rice before, but no one would want to be so extravagant now!
The life of the bottom peasants in ancient times was really too hard.

Liu Yue became more and more determined to make money.

Shen Qingyan was quite satisfied with the money, put the money into his purse, and bid farewell.

Shopkeeper Xu from Mipu asked again, "Don't you want to buy something?"

Usually farmers who come to sell rice will spend money to buy some old rice and brown rice to take home after buying their own polished rice. Shopkeeper Xu is used to doing two transactions, and it is a bit strange to suddenly encounter a single transaction .

Liu Yue is someone who has dozens of tons of rice in the space, so naturally she doesn't want to let Shen Qingyan spend her hard-earned money, she vaguely said that there is still food left at home, and dragged Shen Qingyan out.

After selling the rice, Shen Qingyan went to the government to apply for Liu Yue's household registration. Because he didn't know how long it would take, he didn't let Liu Yue and the others follow him. Instead, Shen Jingcheng drove Liu Yue to the academy to find Shen Jingcheng, and asked him to have a holiday at the academy the day after tomorrow. time to go home.

As for why you want to go home?

Naturally, it was because Shen Qingyan and Liu Yue planned to hold a wedding banquet in the next day.

After the two parties agreed to meet in front of the willow tree at the gate of the city, they parted ways.
